The Wolseley London Reviews
If you're a tourist looking to experience afternoon tea for
If you're a tourist looking to experience afternoon tea for the first time, this is the place. I've been here twice, once three years ago while studying abroad and again this past October. The experiences were nearly identical, from the aft
Great experience for tea time! We were in London for a day
Great experience for tea time! We were in London for a day & this was a great place to go for tea time. The place was very unique and beautiful. They were very busy but service was good. I ordered afternoon tea & my husband had a chicken sand
Expensive? Absolutely.
Incredible? A solid 10/10. Would I do it again? Maybe... it really felt like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. I visited The Wolseley with a friend and we had an absolute blast. If you're going to do "tea time" in London, this
Overrated and disappointing
Atmosphere was great, although the greeting was efficient it was quite abrupt. The food was very disappointing. I had the full English. It was lukewarm warm at best, the poached eggs were very watery. The portions were not very generous and no toast
NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED
My husband and I had a meal at The Wolseley Sunday 9th November, and was surprised at the service we received. To begin with the tables were very close together and had to be pulled out to sit down or to go to the toilet. There were no side plates
A memorable experience
We were in London for a few days and this was our 4 or 5th time. Each time we want to do an experience and this time we wanted to experience tea time. As I have bought my fair share when visiting before. The Wolseley offers a great experience for a g

We got a reservation here during our London trip over the summer for afternoon tea. The place itself is beautiful in the inside. Our servers were okay. I don't recall the service being overly memorable. They have a decent cocktail list to choose
London, done right
We had a fantastic evening with out-of-towner friends at The Wolseley last Friday to celebrate a birthday. I’m not sure why I haven’t been for ages as it’s such a great restaurant that feels special without breaking the bank. The majestic dinin
The best calves liver I could find in London
The Wolseley continues to do exactly what it says on the tin! Exemplary service, knowledgeable sommeliers, and the best calves liver I could find in London. The only drawback is that local public health regulations require that the liver be cooked a
Great service
There was an issue with my booking but they found us a table on a busy Saturday. Great service. As always lovely food, fun atmosphere and great service. A lovely treat.
Wonderful
Absolutely stunning restaurant with so much charm and splendour. Amazing place for breakfast. Very traditional food. A great pot of tea and a lovely Bacon and egg roll. Staff first class. A real gem.

This place is stunning!! I came here for afternoon tea by myself. I was seated immediately when I arrived for my reservation. I got the afternoon cream tea which comes with a pot of tea and 3 scones/biscuits (all the same). I was recommended the ca
Great any problems were handled well
We went for my mum’s belated birthday and had breakfast. The surroundings are beautiful and it is a wonderful place to sit in and soak up the atmosphere. Unfortunately my coffee was very weak (tasted like milk only) and so we sent it back and my i
Not the Restaurant it used to be.
We have dined here on a number of occasions over the years and this is one of our favourite London Dining Rooms, quite unrivalled for its decor and atmosphere. Our starters last Sunday were delivered to a nearby table by accident then put down at ou
Always a first-class experience!
We regularly visit The Wolseley, but not nearly often enough to have staff actually recognise us. Obviously the booking system flags us as having been there before, and they never fail to greet us with “Welcome back to The Wolseley” which is a ve

I went here just for English breakfast and it did not disappoint! Upon arriving, they asked me what newspaper I would like. I felt like a real businessman! The English breakfast was quite good. In particular, the black sausage was notable. It had a n
An impulsive dinner for two. Lovely.
We really enjoyed our early dinner here. Very sharp service right from the doorman to our waiter. Beautifully made cocktails. My lamb was an extremely good cut and plentiful, although it was a bit dull with not much garnish etc. Lovely delicate desse
Fabulous lunch
Called in on the off chance for lunch on Sunday . Mushroom soup for us both, followed by cheese souffle for me and chicken cordon bleu for my husband. Had a fabulous 2 course lunch. Service 100% food 100% value100% Would absolutely recommend Thank
disorganised, inattentive, and well below The Wolseley’s usual standard.
We arrived early for our booking at The Wolseley in Mayfair and were told to wait at the bar, which was fine — except that despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, we weren’t seated until 20 minutes after our actual booking time. What

Absolutely fabulous tea service.
Stellar service, beautiful ambiance, and great selection of tea, sandwiches, and pastries.
Didn't Hit the Mark on This Occasion
I’ve dined at The Wolseley many times and have always appreciated its elegance and atmosphere, but unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. The main courses didn’t meet the usual standard: the steak was tough and lacked the juiciness expected
Good food marred by indifferent and rushed service
The food was largely good; we ordered Coq au vin and Holstein Schnitzel, both were well prepared and tasty. The sides dishes were adequate but largely forgettable. The service did not live up to previous experiences at this restaurant. This restaura
Good breakfast
My friend treated me to breakfast at the Wolseley during a recent visit to London. My first time here but he comes here often. Very lovely dining space and ambience. Busy, but we were seated and served promptly. I had the full English breakfast whi
Sadly an overpriced tourist trap!
From the moment you enter, you are greeted with chaos, unprofessional staff and a large, loud room with tables crammed together side by side. To say the whole experience is disappointing would be an understatement. After being a devoted patron of
Wow! Wolseley...
I was looking forward to experience a dinner at this legendary restaurant but unfortunately a burnt and dry cock au vin dissolve the happy anticipation. They changed with a different plate however that was not pleasant either. Wine was below average.
Woefully resting on their laurels : (
Overpriced is kind of a given considering its location, the grand architecture and stylish interior. But the quality was lacking in every aspect!! Firstly the two waiters that served us spoke terrible English. So much so, my girlfriend couldn’t und
4th time, final time.
I've now visited The Wolseley four times, and can confidently say I shall not be visiting again. I previously reviewed The Wolseley about 10 years ago. I found it to be mediocre and very expensive. I visited again a couple of years ago. The ex
The music was a bit loud where we sat.
It was interesting, the food was fine service very good I thought the wine prices completely over the top. The service charge was high . We had wine by the glass as the bottle would have been £50.00 a bottle which is to me totally over priced.If yo
Let’s be honest
Extremely mediocre service rather hit and miss. Food ok but nothing special shame as have been here many times in the past and was much better. It’s very very popular but that means rushed in and out not the place for relaxing dining. What a shame!
Loved Our Dinner Here!
We had a wonderful dinner at The Wolseley. They did not get busy until we were leaving so our timing was just right. Our server Gordon was outstanding and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The atmosphere is sophisticated and upscale. The building is
Beautiful place, went in randomly while strolling.
I knew it was an establishment worth visiting. I was placed in their side room, which based on the noise level it was probably for the best. The food was pretty good as was the tea. Service was not great. Super slow and felt completely neglected. Too
Touristy yes, but delightful!
The Wolseley was a delight. Exceptionally warm reception upon arrival and choice of table. All waiting staff were charming, efficient & very personable yet professional. I believe Gordon was our initial waiter and he was first class. Choice of co
Had a pescatarian afternoon tea here.
It's a classic English tea experience for an affordable price. They have a cute dining area with lots of different table options, though a reservation is definitely recommended. Service was very attentive for British standards. For my fellow A
Totally magnificent Dining Room
Excellent menu with tantalising vegetarian, meat and fish dishes. Stepping into the dining room is like entering another world. I particularly liked the waiters, the service was exceptional. My food was slightly disappointing, but that was down to

Food: the food was good, not a fan of the English breakfast so would not order that again but not on the restaurant Service: best part, service was really nice and we had an issue with an order not going in so they gave us free dessert Ambiance: v
Fantastic food and service
Fabulous food and service - couldn’t have asked for more. My 11 yo managed to cover me, him and the tablecloth with my glass of red wine and the wait staff could not have been more helpful and changed the tablecloth immediately. The schnitzel was s
A great environment for a relaxing afternoon tea
Reservation prebooked - table available straight away - service was excellent and food was delicious - more finger sandwiches offered and much appreciated. Scones were fresh and tasty. Sweet plate didn't have some of the visual appeal offered
A perennial favourite
Always an excellent place to eat at any time of day. Bookings fairly essential. Lovely atmosphere and great selection of food at a relatively reasonable price given the location and ambience. Service was excellent too.
Disappointing
What has happened to The Wolseley? Last night dinner for 4 was such a disappointment. It has dropped its food and service standards dramatically. Our tuna steaks were dry and overcooked (even crispy)! The vegetables lamentable. Then the dessert menu&
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER - DO NOT GO (ended up at standing area despite reservation)
I booked a table for two for a business meeting in the afternoon. Although I confirmed the reservation twice as requested (by e-mail and SMS), we were told by a VERY unfriendly waitress approx. 10min after we had already sat down that we could have a
For tourists and business people on expenses.
It was much too noisy and much too expensive. The food was OK, not worth the enormous cost, and the atmosphere was over-busy and so noisy that you could barely hear the other people at our table. The kicker is the truly grotesque cost of side dishes
Beautiful vibes of a traditionally art deco building.
From 2:30-3:00pm they serve both afternoon tea and their lunch menu so we opted for this time so my husband and daughter could order from a traditional menu. It's a busy bustling restaurant in here so the ambiance is a bit hectic but we had a l
Great ambience.
Classic English breakfast. Great service. Super high prices. Not handicapped friendly - restrooms are down tiny staircases at the back.
We scored a really early time slot 7:15 am.
.. never been up and out that early but it was perfect! We were very warmly greeted in this ambiant and charming restaurant, located next to the Ritz. The restaurant already had a couple of locals starting out their day with porridge and a copy of
Tasty Afternoon Tea and a place to be seen.
Good ambience, tiny sandwiches, delicious desserts! Friendly service. An easy recommend!
We enjoyed the afternoon tea experience here at Wolseley.
It has great ambiance, the quality of afternoon tea was great, staff were friendly and quick. We did not have reservation on Monday afternoon, so we had to wait 20 minutes, but they let us in. Overall super happy with the experience.
We loved this place! I wanted afternoon tea, but my husband
We loved this place! I wanted afternoon tea, but my husband wanted a full lunch and was able to order Croque Monsieur. Perfect! We just walked in at 2:30om on a Friday in June and it was a 30-minute wait. Worth it. Lovely maitre'd checked in on

Connect with users posting reservations for The Wolseley London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Wolseley London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Wolseley London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Wolseley London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Wolseley London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Wolseley London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
